By Aubrey Davis, Duýan Petricic (Illustrator)
A boy leaves bagels for God, believing they are eaten each week.
Young Benny helps at his grandpa's bakery, where the bagels are a hit. When told to thank God for the bagels, Benny leaves a bagful in the synagogue weekly. To his delight, they disappear, but is it really God enjoying them? Discover the heartwarming tale of gratitude, community, and the unexpected joy of giving.
Benny loves to help out at his grandpa’s bakery in the morning, and the customers love the crusty bagels with their soft insides. When Grandpa explains to Benny that God, not him, should be thanked for the wonderful bagels, Benny sets out to do just that. He decides to leave God a bagful of bagels in the synagogue at the end of each week. And each week God eats the bagels — or so Benny thinks … Lovingly told, Bagels from Benny explores the values of caring and sharing, building a strong sense of community and finding joy in giving thanks.
